a/n- so now you get to see if ann was being serious.

disclaimer-i do not own the power rangers

Chapter Seventeen-Crystal

Everyone's jaws dropped, including Ted's, but not Kim's, who was still smiling to herself. Ann reminded her so much of Jason. Jason Scott that is, the jokester. Or maybe that was Rocky, it was so hard to remember right now.

"Did they just say what I think they just said?"

"Isn't that illegal?"

"Are you sure you aren't the one who I crazy?"

"Don't you think you should have asked me first?"

The last comment from Ted made Ann start laughing. "You guys are so gullible. We aren't engaged, it is illegal, and you are still crazy Jason."

"I am so gonna kill you Ann Trinity Oliver." David said, advancing on his twin. Ann shrieked, leaping off the bench, and running away.

"Ahh! Help I'm being chased by a crazed murderer."

"Be quiet Ann, you can't say that in a public park." But it didn't really matter because there was no one else there.

David quickly caught up with his sister and tackled her. Then he proceeded to tickling her, she was screaming with laughter.

"David! Come on David, stop!"

"Never!"

"Ahh, help. I'm being tickled to death." Just then everyone else walked over.

"Uh, yeah David, I was um, really not serious when I said Ann was really bad at martial arts. She is better than Uncle Rocky was before he hurt his neck." Ted said.

"You're telling me this now?" David questioned as Ann suddenly remembered this and kicked her brother off of her.

"You are so dead David- hey David, what's your middle name?" Ann said, pinning her brother to the ground. He started cracking up.

"What's so funny?"

"You just said you were gonna kill me, but you aren't because you can't remember what my middle name is?"

"Ha, ha. That's so funny. Spit it out, what's your middle name?"

David didn't answer, he was too busy laughing his head off. Ann turned to everyone else.

"Does anyone know what his middle name is?"

Everyone shook their heads no. Ann rolled her eyes. "Come on people. It's not that hard of a thing to remember."

"You forgot."

"Zip it Jason. You're still crazy."

"Oh man."

"Give it up fly boy. What's your middle name?"

"Fly boy? Where did that come from?"

"Eagle's fly." Jason said.

"Not working, Jason."

"When won't I be crazy?"

"Never." Then, "HA!"

"What?"

"HA! It's Jason!"

"What about me?"

"Not you. Your middle name is Jason."

"Jeez, you take the fun out of everything. How did you guess it?"

"I remembered."

Flashback

"We are going to play a game. When I ask you a question, you have to tell me the answer, ok?"

"Ok mommy." Came the sleepy reply.

"You've got to stay awake now. Ok, we'll start with an easy one. What is your name?"

"Ann Trinity Oliver-Hart."

"David Jason Oliver-Hart."

End Flashback

"I think this has already been mentioned, but how on earth do you remember that?" David said. "I don't."

"Girls are smarter than boys." Kimmie said. Ted, David, and Jason glared at her. Kim, Kaylie, and Ann laughed at the boys. "What? Everyone knows that. Everyone expect for idiotic boys accept it too. So, it stands to reason that if girls are smarter, then they would also have larger memory spans."

"You really are Billy's daughter." Kim said.

"I totally agree with Kimmie." Kaylie said. "And I guess Kim too."

"Guys." Ann said gently, as if she were speaking to an over-emotional two-year old. "It's ok to admit that you know you are idiots. I mean, we all already know that."

"She's right you know."

Everyone turned around. There was a totally random girl, dressed all in white, standing there.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt." The girl said getting up. She had been sitting on the other side of the tree they were by. "By the way, the name's Crystal."

"Um, hi Crystal." Ann said. "I'm Ann. This is Ted, Jason, and my, oh so wonderful twin brother, David. And that's Kimmie, Kaylie and Kim."

"Hi." Crystal said to the group at large. "Uh, if you don't mind my asking, why are you sitting on top of David?"

"Oh that." Ann said, realizing she was still on top of her brother. "I was just attempting to kill him."

"That explains a lot. So, why is he still alive?" David started cracking up again. Ann smacked him on the head, but he answered for her.

"She couldn't remember my middle name." And he started laughing again. Crystal smiled.

"So, are you guys from around here? I've never seen you before."

"I live here." Ted said.

"I grew up here." Kim said.

"The rest of us live in Reefside." Kaylie said.

"Reefside? Never heard of it. Wait, yes I have. That's where the last team of power rangers was sighted. Wasn't it?"

"Um, yeah." Jason said uncomfortably.

"So, how old are you?" Ted asked curiously, trying to change the subct.

"I'm sixteen. I actually just moved here about a month ago. I'll be going to Angel Grove High School."

"Really? I'll be a junior there, this year."

"Me too. Well, you guys should get back to, uh, whatever it was that you were doing."

"You can stay if you really want."

"Thanks, but my sister will get really mad if I'm not home soon. I didn't exactly tell her where I was going."

"What about your parents?"

"They're dead."

"Oh, sorry."

"No, it's ok. You didn't know. Besides I don't really remember them that much, but my sister keeps saying that I'm nothing like them, and she is like 100 like them. Which makes me really glad we aren't anything alike, because my sister is a total witch."

"No way." David said. "Mine is too."

Ann glared at the boy she was still on top of.

"It was nice meeting all of you." Crystal said.

"It was nice meeting you too, Crystal." Kaylie said.

With a wave, Crystal turned and ran off. And Ann finally got off of David.

"Jeez, you couldn't have done that sooner? Now she's gonna think we're weird."

"Hate to break it to you bro, but we are weird. And why do you care so much?"

"I-I, uh, I don't care that much." David stuttered.

"Sure you don't." Ann said, rolling her eyes at him.

"I am never gonna survive, raising five kids. And I've only met three of them so far." Km said to no one in particular.

"Shouldn't we be going too?" Kimmie asked. "We've been here all afternoon. If we don't get home soon, our parents will be really worried."

"No." Jason said. "Your parents will be really worried, my parents will be freaked out. I wouldn't be surprised if I got home and my mother had a heart attack."

"Hey!" Kim said.

"Just kidding. But seriously mom, do you think that in the future you could lay off us just a bit?"

"Depends."

"On what?"

"On what I say when you ask me."

"I am not asking you."

"Well then, I'm not gonna lay off."

Laughing at the downcast look on Jason's face, Ann scanned the area with her communicator to make sure that there was no one there. When she didn't pick up any human readings, the group teleported from the park.

But there was someone watching them as they did that. She wasn't exactly human, so Ann hadn't picked up her presence, plus, her parents had known magic so she had been able to shield herself from the scan. She watched, hidden behind a tree as the seven people teleported out of the park.

"I knew you were the rangers." A soft voice said.

a/n-once again, there's nothing like a good cliffhanger.
